Walk-in booking
Walk-in booking (walk-in redemption) applies a prepaid credit when a client shows up without scheduling online first.
In practice
Barbers and salons often serve clients who did not book ahead. With package credits and a verification code flow, staff can deduct one session from a prepaid balance at the chair—without manual punch cards. NextSessio supports verification for scheduled and walk-in redemptions so your calendar and credit ledger stay aligned.
